of all- they do not have to be “Do-It-Yourself”, although that is always an available
option.
Q: How do you produce/manufacture the product?
A: My friend works at an industrial design company that allows him to
manufacture with their machinery using a somewhat slow process. I have not yet
decided whether or not to invest in purchasing dies that would enable mass
production and lower costs.
Q: How you deal with liability
and/or risk when creating a
product for children?
A: There is a warning on the
packaging that this product has
small parts. It is not
recommended for children
under 3 years of age or with
individuals who put objects in
their mouths.
Q: Where can we find your products?
A: Weavable Toys are sold as a set consisting of 4 basic shape boards (square,
rectangle, circle and triangle), strips that are woven through the boards and small
shapes that are woven onto the strips to create designs. They are sold on Amazon
and via paypal with free shipping. Information is on my website
